Fair Snake story from I’tah. A Salt Lake City man is responsible tor this snake story: A nest of rattle snakes was discovered by an Indian in tlie mountains eleven miles west of the eity recently. He was out hunting, and in ascending a rocky point was warned of the presence of a serpent by an ominous rattle. He discharged his rifle at the rattler and immediately thereafter vast numbers emerged from a rock pile. The Indian retreated, and, securing a branch of a pine tree, invaded the nest and gave battle. He continued the slaughter until exhausted, but, seeing the impossibility of exterminating the reptiles, left the place after having killed forty-one snakes. ■ What at the beginning may have been regarded merely as a side issue frequently turns out to be the most important subject. It was so in the ease ot Eve. There are a great many bad men in the world, but every man is better than he wants to be."

A horse-thief, who secured a fine animal belonging to Joseph McDowell, livinj near Logansport, and a buggy owned by George Bingaman in the same neighborhood. was traced to Monticello, where l detective was placed on the trail. In North and South Dakota, whithei hundreds of farm laborers from Indiana flocked in the hope of securing employment in the harvest fields at $2 per day anc board, the supply of hands far exceeds thi demand, and around Fargo alone a thousand or more men are homeless. James Delaney- of Converse, filed suit for $10,01)0 damages against the Peerlesi Glass Works and William Feighner.

Th Big Four shops at Mattoon were stopped until water was received from here. Aboui thirty tanks of water are sent from here t< tlie several places every day. Many building associations have failed to make their reports to tlie State Auditor as required by law, and this official is now sending out copies of the law bearing or the question, with the information that longer delay will subject the delinquent associations to a fine of SIOO. A failure tc file a report of the condition of the association also calls for an enforced examination under the direction of the Auditor. Farmers in Northern Indiana are trying to solve the disease which causes tliefi cattle to go stone blind in botli eyes iu t seconds time.

Tlie ground for two feet is red hoi and the fire is slowly spreading in all directions. It has already reached high lane in several places and is firing the witheree grass, fences, and all else in its track.

PROPER WAY TO COOK STEAK. It Mnst Be Broiled, the Frying Pan Being a Culinary Infamy. Somebody says, and very truly, that vile frying pan has ruined more American digestions than any other agency of the many hurtful ones employed in the kitchen. There is a good deal of truth in this statement, but after all for one thing at least we should lie thankful, and that is, that tlie beefsteak lias been rescued from the frying pan. Jenness Miller’s Monthly says only benighted souls still cling to this mode of punishment. Broiled meats are more elegant, more wholesome and more palatable, but how few really good cooks now understand the art? “Goodness, what an idea! Anybody can manage this part of the menu,” says someone who thinks she has gotten the subject of broiling down tine. Ask her to give you her method and you will find that madam jmmits all the old-time mistakes w ithout so much &s a qualm of conscience. Never wash a steak if it can be avoided. This advice does not meet with the approbation of some cooks, but these neat bodies are very careful if the meat is given drenching to wipe it perfectly dry before cooking. Before you place y. ar steak on the broiler, see that your tire is a glowing bed of coals, and have close at hand butter, salt, pepper and a hot platter. Now place the cut on the broiler and drop it upon the coals for two minutes, when it must be turned. In this way you secure the juices and it is then ready to receive a more moderate treatment. Watch it constantly and turn it so dexterously that it will not smoke or scorch. Ten minutes is all that is needed for a rare broil. Take a keen blade and cut into the thickest part. If the heart has lost its purple tinge transfer at once to the dish. Sprinkle liberally with bits of butter,salt and pepper. Unless you have a hot water dish do not send the steak in to the table until the family are seated. Tough steak may be made eatable by laying it on a board and making slight incisions in the meat, when, if it is rubbed with the strained juice of a lemon and placed on ice over night, it will be ready for breakfast. Fathers 31ust Be Careful Ther<i. Among the Indians of British Guiana usuage bids the father to go to bed when a child is born, and allows a mother to return at once to her household duties. James Rod way's recently published book on that country explains the custom by a superstition which attaches the spirit of the child to the body of the father. The author says: “The father must not hunt, shoot, or fell trees for some time, because there is an invisible connection between himself and the babe, whose spirit accompanies him in all his wanderings, and might be shot, chopped, or otherwise injured unwittingly. He therefore retires to his hammock, sometimes holding the little one, and receives the congratulations of his friends, as well as the advice of the elder members of the community. If he has occasion to travel he must not go very far, as the child and spirit might get tired, and in passing a creek, must first lav across it a little bridge or bend a leaf into the shape of a canoe for his companion.”—New York Times.

What Women Should Know. Every woman ought to know that there is an institution in this country where diseases peculiar to their sex have, for nearly thirty years, been made a specialty by several of the physicians connected therewith. This institution is the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. In treating thousands of eases at that famous sanitarium there have been perfected medicines which form a regular scientific course of treatment for these prevalent and most distressing ailments. Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled specialists, forming the faculty of the above institution, are at all times ready to reply to letters from women suffering from obstinate, complicated, or long neglected diseases and “weaknesses,'• and can be addressed, or consulted at the institution, free of charge. When Dr. Pierce published the first edition of his work. The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, he announced that after 680,000 copies had been sold at the regular price, $1.50 per copy, the profit on which would repay him for the great amount of labor and money expended in producing it, he would distribute the next half million free.

Seek the Beech. No tree is entirely protected against being struck by lightning. When the atmosphere is overcharged with electricity all of the n are liable to become tlie aim of some bolt, but the beech is the one in tlie whole category of trees that is more rarely struck than any other. Prof. Hellman, in his statistics on tins subject, says that lightning strikes pine wood trees fifteen times oftener and oak trees fifty-four times oftener than the beech. This fact is very well known to frequenters of timbered regions. Traces of lightning bolts are most frequently found on oak trees, while only rarely are they observed in the beech. It was throught at first that the condition of the ground had much to do with this unequal distribution es lightning strokes of trees, but that is not the case. It is tlie characteristic condition of the tree itself that accounts for it. Trees which contain oily substances to a high degree, even in tlie summer, may be regarded as comparatively lightning-proof, while those containing glucose matter attract the lightning more frequently. Dead branches are very apt to increase this danger. It need only be cited that acorns are valuable because they contain 55 per cent, of glucose matter and only 4 per cent, of fat, while from the nut of the beech, pig nut oil is made.St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

There ought to lie no need of medicine—just as there ought to be no poverty—but there is. If people lived right they would be well. Sunshine, air, exercise, fun. good food—plenty and not too much—are tlie best medicines, the natural ones; but men are tied to their desks, and women to their home cares, and both are tied to fashion. Civilized existence is artificial and needs artificial regulators. I recommend Ripans Tabules—and take them myself. I know they are both harmless and effective. (I know what they are made of.) They are tlie best remedy I know anything about for headaches, or indigestion, or biliousness, or any sort of sluggishness in the system.
